I've been seeing this on all of my Gentoo boxes since xorg 1.6 (it's
been almost a year now). But, it only happens when a box is heavily
loaded (it doesn't matter how fast I type).

Two of the systems are NVidia, one uses ATI.  Two are desktops, one is
a laptop.  One has dual cards and three displays, the others have
single cards/displays.

I've pretty much given up on it ever getting fixed. :/
